Key Verses:

• Genesis 3:13-15
• Genesis 12:2-3

The first 11 chapters of The Book of Genesis tell of the creation of the world. They tell the story of the first human beings and their fall into sin. Sin spreads throughout the world, occasioning the flood.

The second part of the book, chapters 12 to 50 concentrates on God’s dealing with Abraham, the man he chose to correct the problems that human sin was causing, the one man through whom God promises to bring salvation and blessing to the whole world.

From Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to Joseph, God’s promises begin to result in the nation whose mission it is to bring back the world of mankind to the love and service of the Lord. (They fail – Jesus is necessary!)

Key Verses:

• 2 Samuel 7:12-13
• 2 Samuel 22:21-22

The Book of 2 Samuel records the highlights of David’s reign, firstly over Judah and then over the nation of Israel. It traces his ascent to the throne, his victories and sins and the consequences of his sins upon his family and the nation.

G'day and welcome to our series, "Exploring the Bible" This is also the title of our latest book available on Amazon by clicking here or visiting PulpTheology.com

Key Verses:

1 Kings 9:4–5
1 Kings 11:11

The first half of 1 Kings tells about the nation of Israel under the leadership of Solomon. Under Solomon’s leadership, Israel rises to the peak of her size and glory. It is Solomon who builds the temple, consequently giving the Lord God a place in Jerusalem where he will dwell in a special way. Solomon soon gains a divided heart following his pagan wives, which eventually leads to Israel being divided into Israel and Judah.

The second part of the book goes on to tell about these two nations and their kings. Nearly all the time they are a disobedient people, rebelling against God’s prophets and His laws.

G'day and welcome to our series, "Exploring the Bible" This is also the title of our latest book available on Amazon by clicking here or visiting PulpTheology.com

Key Verses:

2 Kings 17:22-23
2 Kings 23:27

The Book of 2 Kings continues the drama of 1 Kings, systematically tracing the reigning monarchs of Israel and Judah, first by telling one nation’s history, and then retracing the same period for the other, up to and including the points at which most of the people are taken away into exile.

The temple in Jerusalem, the house of God, is destroyed. The warnings of Deuteronomy have not been heeded with the expected result.
